IMPORTANT: Before using this product, make sure you read these instructions and the safety instructions in the online User’s Guide.

1 Open the ink tank cover and the cap for the black ink

tank.

Important Safety Instructions: When using telephone equipment,

you should always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

• Do not use the Epson® product near water.

• Always keep this guide handy.

• Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

• Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Caution: To reduce the risk of ﬁre, use only a No. 26 AWG or larger

telecommunication line cord.

Unpack

Note: Do not open the ink bottles until you are ready to ﬁll the ink

tanks. The ink bottles are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker on the ink tank unit to

identify the color of each tank.

2 Unpack the black (BK) ink bottle. Hold the ink bottle

upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.

Caution: Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottles. Do not touch

the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.

3 Place the top of the ink bottle on the ﬁlling port, then

slowly stand the bottle upright to insert it, as shown.

Remove all protective materials from the product.

Note: Do not turn on the product yet.

Fill ink tanks

Warning: Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not

drink the ink.

Caution: This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills,

wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

Note:

• Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink.

• Use the ink bottles included with the printer to set up the product. Part of the ink will be used to charge the print head. These bottles will print fewer pages compared with subsequent ink bottles.

Note: Do not force the bottles into position; they are keyed for

each color.

4 Wait for the ink to ﬁll the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle.

Note: Ink ﬂows into the tank and stops automatically when the

ink tank is ﬁlled to the upper line. If ink does not ﬂow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the bottle.

5 When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle and

securely close it with the bottle cap.

11 Select your language, country, date, and time.

Note: You can change these settings later using the product’s

control panel. For more information see the online User’s Guide.

12 When instructed to see the Start Here sheet, press and

hold the help button for 5 seconds.

Note: Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise the bottle

may be damaged or ink may leak. If any ink remains in the bottle, store the bottle upright and top off the ink tank after completing initial setup. See the online User’s Guide for instructions.

6 Close the black ink tank cap.

7 Repeat the previous steps for the other colors.

8 Close the ink tank cover.

13 Press the start button to start ink charging.

Note: Ink charging takes about 10 minutes. When the power

light stops ﬂashing, ink charging is complete. Once initial setup of the printer is complete, you can top off the ink tanks with any remaining ink. See the online User’s Guide for instructions.

Caution: Do not unplug or turn off the product, or open the

inner cover while the product is charging or you’ll waste ink.

14 Press the OK button to proceed with initial setup.

9 Connect the power cord to the back of the product and to

an electrical outlet.

Caution: Do not connect to your computer yet.

10 Raise the control panel, then press the power button to

turn on the product. The power light ﬂashes.

Any problems?

Network setup was unsuccessful

• Restart your router (turn it off and then on), then try to connect to it again.

2.4 GHz connections. If your router offers both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connections, make sure 2.4 GHz is enabled.

• If your network has security enabled, make sure you enter your network password (WEP key or WPA passphrase) correctly. Be sure to enter your password in the correct case.

There are lines or incorrect colors in my printouts.
